Newer ones are better, but they're still nowhere near reliable enough
at DAE for pro work.

For reliable DAE every time - at up to 20x-speed - spend the extra
dollars and get a Plextor UltraPlex, which has special firmware
designed especially for 100%-accurate DAE at high speed, and which
even comes with a special file system allowing you to drag CD tracks
to your hard disk as if they were wave files.

The drive itself is also the most solidly built, fastest and most
reliable CD-ROM drive I have ever used. 

Bear in mind all the Plextors are SCSI. But they are more than worth
the extra price.
